    They also do a little gel pot of it. Looks like a larger roll-on deodorant. Handy for dabbing when you can’t spray.

    I'm probably in the minority but I'm glad glyphosate (Roundup) has been banned.
    It hasn't been banned.
    Devon.

    Some local authorities have said they’ll stop or have stopped using it but no UK ban.

    Ah that would be handy, the stuff coming under the fence is frustrating because I can’t dig it out!

    Thank you! Will pop to wilko tomorrow afternoon.

    I can see me ending up applying it to the bindweed in the borders with a paintbrush or something to avoid the other plants. Can’t believe how much is coming up given that I dug it over and removed all roots I could find even the tiny bits, must have been completely infested!! A lot is also coming up from the neighbours side
    Instead of doing that, untangle as much bindweed as possible and bundle (still attached to its roots) into a plastic bag. Spray the bindweed inside the bag. You can remove the bag as soon as the Glyphosate has dried.

    On smaller pieces of bindweed, lay it onto a piece of cardboard and spray from a close distance. Then let the bindweed drop onto the soil without touching/dripping onto other plants if poss.
